Bible Question: did God divorce Israel |
Bible Answer: Billwalk13, one thing must be remembered. While all of Mt Zion is in Jerusalem, Jerusalem is not all of Mt Zion. The vast majority of Israel left “Judaism” thousands of years ago. That is the reason that God DIVORCED Israel. Jeremiah 3:6 “In the days of King Josiah the Lord asked me, "Have you seen what unfaithful Israel has done? She has ascended every high hill and gone under every green tree to prostitute herself there. 3:7 “I thought: After she has done all these things, she will return to Me. But she didn't return, and her treacherous sister Judah saw it. 3:8 “I observed that it was because unfaithful Israel had committed adultery that I had sent her away and HAD GIVEN HER A CERTIFICATE OF DIVORCE. Nevertheless, her treacherous sister Judah was not afraid but also went and prostituted herself.” (emphasis mine) And I can't find where God ever "remarried" her but she has been scattered and swallowed into the nations. Don't confuse Judaism with "Israelites". T’oma |
